SUMMARY:Pique - Winter Edition '25
DESCRIPTION:Not your average holiday-season party\, Pique winter edition returns to Arts Court on December 13\, 2025 with a unique and eclectic program celebrating underground music\, forward-thinking art and bold performance. Designed for discovery\, community connection and radical self-expression\, Pique brings together some of the boldest ground-breaking artists from across Canada to experiment and engage with the local artistic community. \nThis season\, Pique features emergent innovators in the fields of pop-avant garde\, ambient-electronic\, contemporary installation\, afro-rap\, and more. They include genre-fluid electronic producer Korea Town Acid\, ethereal club angel Monsieurmadam\, electrifying R&B/noise artist Quinton Barnes\, Afrobeats scene stealer Banggz\, global south sound selector TRINIDADDY\, fractal ambient brainfeeder 16:9 ratio\, cyborgian new media artist Ajeebsir\, anti-disciplinary installation collaborative Sabrina Ferrari & Evalyn Shields\, and eclectic songwriter Sandour. \nPlus\, back by popular demand\, Pique will host the Queertopia kiki ball presented by Legendary Mother Maldita and Yéila Siriano\, welcoming legends and leaders from ballroom scenes across Canada to not only host a ball\, but also mentor emerging ballroom artists through skill-building workshops presented by MAX Ottawa. Community members can sign up to walk the ball here. More information about workshops coming soon. \nTickets to Pique are pay-what-you-can (PWYC)\, with sliding-scale and subsidized options available. Our PWYC ticket keeps the festival open to everyone while inviting those who can pay more to help cover the cost for others. Every contribution above the minimum goes directly toward fair artist pay\, inclusive programming\, and supporting independent culture in Ottawa. \nFeaturing performances\, exhibitions and interactive presentations by 20 participating artists\, Pique winter edition is not to be missed!

SUMMARY:Demand Warming Centres!
DESCRIPTION:Warming centres are an absolute need. If the city won’t act\, we will.\n\n\n\nJoin us at Minto Park (Elgin St./Lewis St.) on Sunday\, December 14th at 5 pm to make our demands loud and clear.\n\n\n\nShelters are at maximum capacity. The City insists that there is room for everyone\, and that no one who calls 311 for a place to stay warm will be turned away.\n\n\n\nPeople are being turned away. Even people with a shelter bed are left to wait in the cold for hours – because our city does not have 24 hour warming centres.\n\n\n\nIt is the city’s responsibility to ensure that nobody dies from homelessness. While they delay and insist existing shelters are enough\, we have no choice but to do what we can.\n\n\n\nWe need your help! We need:\nVISIBILITY: Share this and spread the word.\nSUPPORT: Show up in numbers on December 14th and/or make a cash donation\nWARMING SUPPLIES: Bring donated blankets\, tarps\, and sleeping bags to give to people who need them.\n\n\n\nPeople are suffering in the freezing cold right now.\n\nWe don’t have the luxury of time. A cold weather plan that actually meets the needs of unhoused people in Ottawa must be activated immediately to prevent cold-related deaths and injuries. We cannot stand by while people suffer.\n\n\n\nTo learn more\, visit linkt.ree/wtwp.ottawa. If you want to get involved organizing with us\, email wtwp-ottawa@proton.me
